GOLD STANDARD AUCTIONS, LLC
AUCTION AND “BUY IT NOW”
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
These Auction and “Buy it Now” Terms and Conditions (hereinafter the "Agreement" or “Terms”) constitute
a legally binding agreement between you (either an individual or an entity) and Gold Standard Auctions,
LLC, its affiliate(s) and subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as “GSA”) regarding the use of its
websites - www.goldstandardauctions.com and www.goldstandardauctions.hibid.com (hereinafter the
“Site” or “Sites”), its auction services, and “Buy it Now” retail services. By utilizing the GSA Site(s) and/or
Services (defined below), you understand, acknowledge and agree that you are legally bound by the terms
and conditions set forth herein (and as hereafter amended):
1. ACCEPTANCE OF LEGALLY BINDING TERMS. BY UTILIZING THE GSA SITES AND/OR
SERVICES (DEFINED BELOW), PLACING AN AUCTION BID, SELECTING A “BUY IT NOW”
OPTION, OR OTHERWISE PARTICIPATING IN A GSA AUCTION OR SALE, YOU
ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT – AND
SPECIFICALLY THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION, IN-PERSON ARBITRATION AND REMEDIES
PROVISION - AS WELL AS THE APPLICABLE BUYER/SELLER TERMS.
2. DEFINITIONS.
a. "Auction" means an online auction wherein remote users can bid either through absentee bids or
real time bids on Products being auctioned via GSA’s Sites and/or any other sale or purchase
involving GSA.
b. "Bidder" or “Buyer” means an individual, artificial entity, or auction house registered as a Bidder
with GSA for purposes of utilizing GSA’s Buyer Services to bid on (via Auction) or otherwise
purchase (via “Buy it Now” listing) Product(s) for sale through GSA’s Sites and/or any other
purchases of GSA items. If an artificial entity places a bid or selects the “Buy it Now” option, the
person executing the bid on behalf of the artificial entity agrees to, and hereby does, personally
guarantee payment of such bid. The terms Bidder and Buyer shall be used interchangeably
regardless of whether a Bidder is successful in an Auction.
c. “Bidder Terms” mean the Bidder Terms & Conditions entered into by and between a Bidder and
GSA for purposes of governing over a Bidder’s access to, and use of, GSA’s Services. Said
Bidder Terms are incorporated by reference for all purposes as if the same were fully set forth
herein and are located here: www.goldstandardauctions.hibid.com/home/bidderuserterms (and
as hereinafter amended).
d. “Buy it Now” means an online sale, other than by auction, for Products which may be purchased
through GSA’s Sites by selecting the “Buy it Now” option and/or any other purchase from GSA.
e. “Product(s)” mean currency, coins, tokens, notes, medals, precious metals and/or other collectibles
listed for Auction or “Buy it Now” sale on one or more GSA Site through use of GSA’s Services.
f. "Seller" means an individual, artificial entity, or auction house registered as a Seller with GSA for
purposes of utilizing GSA’s Seller Services to list Product(s) for sale through GSA’s Sites. GSA
may also serve as a Seller when listing its own Product(s) for sale through GSA’s Sites.
g. “Seller Terms” mean the Seller Terms & Conditions entered into by and between a Seller and GSA
for purposes of governing over a Seller’s access to, and use of, GSA’s Services as a Seller. Said
Seller Terms are incorporated by reference for all purposes as if the same were fully set forth
herein and are located here: www.goldstandardauctions.hibid.com/home/selleruserterms
h. “Services” means the online Auction and/or “Buy it Now” listing and all other services provided by
GSA to Sellers, Bidders and prospective Sellers and Bidders through the Sites which serve as a
conduit for listing Products and means for offers and acceptance to be exchanged in relation to
the Auction/sale of Product(s).
3. GSA SERVICES. You acknowledge and agree that GSA provides online Auction and “Buy it Now”
Services for Sellers and Bidders through its Sites which serve as conduits for offers and acceptance
to be exchanged in relation to the Auction or “Buy it Now” sale of Products posted on one or more
GSA Sites, or other platforms utilized (the Services). You further acknowledge and agree that: (a)
GSA is not a certified Auction House and therefore does not always conduct the Live Auctions; (ii)
When not acting as the Seller, GSA is solely a passive conduit to facilitate the Auctions and
communication between the Bidders and Sellers; (iii) When not acting as the Seller, GSA has no
control over the Bidders, Sellers, or the accuracy of descriptions for the Product(s) being offered by
the Seller; (iv) When GSA acts as a seller, all the terms and conditions apply to the transaction
between GSA and the seller; (v) GSA reserves the right in its sole discretion to change some or all of
its Services at any time; and (vi) the provision of this Agreement supersedes and takes precedence
over all terms of the auction platform to the extent there is any conflict.
4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS. The GSA Site places items for auction and enables individuals, artificial
entities and professional auctioneers to list Products for Auction and/or “Buy it Now” sale. Those are
the persons or entities who prepare the Product descriptions which appear on the Sites, not GSA
(unless listing its own Products for auction), and it is those individuals or entities who are solely
responsible for the accuracy of the descriptions and for all contractual and other warranties made, if
any, with respect to the Products sold. You understand, acknowledge and agree that GSA is not and
shall not be held responsible or liable to you for any of the Product description/information posted by
GSA or any seller on the GSA Site’s Auction or “Buy it Now” listing(s). While written descriptions are
utilized in Product listings, the ultimate determination of the qualities of any Auction item or “Buy it
Now” Product are determined by examination of the posted Product photographs.
5. SELLERS AND SELLER SERVICES. The Sellers Terms & Conditions entered into by and between
GSA and Product Sellers govern a Seller’s access to, and use of, GSA’s Services as a Seller,
whether it be via GSA Auction or “Buy it Now” listing. The Sellers Terms & Conditions are
incorporated by reference as if the same were fully set forth herein and can accessed here:
https://goldstandardauctions.hibid.com/home/selleruserterms. Sellers must be pre-approved by GSA
prior to participating in any Auction or “Buy it Now” listing and must maintain a current Seller account
with GSA. A Seller must disclose certain account registration information to GSA prior to utilizing
GSA’s Sites and Services. Said Seller information includes, but is not limited to, any information a
Seller provides to GSA during the registration process, in any public message area or through any
email feature. Sellers hereby represent and warrant that his/her/its Seller Information: (a) is true and
accurate; and (b) does not contain any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or
other computer programming routines which may damage, detrimentally interfere with, intercept, or
expropriate any system, data or personal information.
Because Sellers utilizing GSA’s Services and Sites may enter into binding legal agreements to sell
Products being auctioned, GSA's Services are not available to minors.
6. BIDDERS AND BIDDER SERVICES. The Bidders Terms & Conditions entered into by and between
GSA and Bidders govern a Bidder’s access to, and use of, GSA’s Services as a Bidder/Buyer,
whether it be via GSA Auction or “Buy it Now” listing. The Bidders Terms & Conditions are
incorporated by reference as if the same were fully set forth herein and can accessed here:
https://goldstandardauctions.hibid.com/home/bidderuserterms. A Bidder must be pre-approved by
GSA prior to participating in any Auction or “Buy it Now” listing and must maintain a current Bidder
account with GSA. A Bidder must disclose certain account registration information to GSA prior to
utilizing GSA’s Sites and Services, and agree to the terms and conditions. Said Bidder information
includes, but is not limited to, any information a Bidder provides to GSA during the registration
process, in any public message area or through any email feature. Bidder hereby represents and
warrants that Bidder’s Bidder Information: (a) is true and accurate; and (b) does not contain any
viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots or other computer programming routines
which may damage, detrimentally interfere with, intercept, or expropriate any system, data or
personal information. By providing such information, Bidder expressly agrees to the terms as set forth
herein (and as hereafter amended). Bidder agrees to keep billing and shipping address updated both
on the platform through which Bidder is bidding and also with GSA. GSA has no responsibility, fault or
liability for delays/misdelivery/extra costs/damage caused by an incorrect address. GSA attempts to
ship all Products promptly after full payment, but Bidder should allow thirty (30) days to receive items
after payment.
Because a Bidder utilizing GSA’s Services and Sites may enter into legally binding agreements to
purchase Products being auctioned, GSA's Services are not available to minors. Sellers may have
different standards for approving individual auction participants, and you may be required to apply for
and obtain written approval to participate in a specific auction. In such circumstances, an approved
Bidder will receive a Bidder Number. Approval to participate in one auction does not guarantee
approval to participate in any other auction. GSA and each Seller reserves the right to refuse to
approve any individual or entity applying to participate in any Auction or “Buy it Now” listing as a
Bidder.
7. AUCTION BIDS AND “BUY IT NOW” SALES. By placing a successful bid, or selecting the “Buy it Now”
option on a Product listing, you are entering into a binding agreement between yourself and the
Seller. Bids for a particular Product are subject to a minimum bid increment as posted. If you bid an
amount below the minimum increment your bid will not be accepted. If you bid an amount between
increments, GSA will automatically round your bid up to the nearest increment. All bids are final once
they are submitted - bids may not be retracted or cancelled and, upon acceptance by the Seller,
constitute a binding agreement between the Buyer and Seller. A “Buy it Now” purchase is final, except
where the limited written return policy explicitly allows it, and in the event a return is allowed, the sole
option is to receive site credit instead of a refund, except in the event GSA, at its sole discretion,
offers a refund or if there is a specific statutory right to such refund. Bids for a Product do not apply to
subsequent offerings of identical or similar Products. GSA reserves, in its sole discretion, the right to
select any bid if several bids for the same amount are received at about the same time. A bid that was
unsuccessful may be reinstated if a problem arises with a higher bid. A Bidder placing a winning bid
through Bidder Services will be notified by an email containing a Product Invoice – the information in
that Product Invoice is the only information a Bidder should rely on as being the final determination.
Because we use multiple bidding platforms, from time to time a platform might show that a Bidder
“won,” or might show the Bidder as a “floor bidder” or similar. The final invoice received via email is
the determinant of the actual winner and the only source for information about what was
awarded/sold and what amount is due and owing. Reserve bid amounts are displayed at the
discretion of the Seller. If you are the winning Bidder and do not pay your invoice or arrange to pay for
your invoice within seven (7) days of the sale date, you will be charged a restocking fee of twenty-five
percent (25%) of your invoice total. Additionally, you will be banned from all future GSA Auctions and
“Buy it Now” listings as a Bidder or Seller. GSA is not liable for any errors made while operating the
technology used to host or bid in online auctions.
8. “AS IS / WHERE IS” SALE. ALL PRODUCTS ARE SOLD “AS IS, WHERE IS”. Descriptions are
given to Products, but Bidder expressly agrees that Bidder is not relying on such description,
but instead will base all decisions to bid based exclusively on Bidder’s examination of the
listing’s Product photographs. If any item is removed from its holder, the Bidder waives all
rights to assert any claims or demands concerning that item and lot and waive any right to
retain that item or lot.
9. PAYMENT. The following provisions govern procedures for the purchase of Products and related
payment terms. Please note that all invoices issued over a two (2) day or four (4) day sale will be
combined.
a. PAYMENT DEADLINE. Payment for Products shall be immediately due and payable upon the
conclusion of said Products’ Auction or “Buy it Now” listing and presentment of an invoice. GSA
reserves the right to cancel an invoice if payment in full is not received within seven (7) days
after Auction close. In cases of nonpayment, GSA’s election to cancel a sale does not relieve the
successful Bidder from the obligation to pay GSA its fees (seller’s and buyer’s premium) on the
Product listing and any other damages pertaining to Bidder’s failure to tender payment.
Alternatively, GSA at its sole option, may charge Bidder a twenty-five percent (25%) fee based
on the Product’s purchase price, or pursue collection of the full amount of the winning/”Buy it
Now” bid from the Bidder, adding interest at the highest rate allowed by law and reasonable
attorneys’ fees. If payment is not received by GSA within thirty (30) days of the winning/“Buy it
Now” bid, GSA may resell the items, applying any net proceeds to the amount(s) owed by the
Bidder. In either case, GSA may offset the amount of its claim against any monies owing to the
Bidder and secure its claim against any of the Bidder’s property held by GSA.
b. PAYMENT METHODS. GSA and Sellers utilizing GSA’s auction and/or “Buy it Now” Services
agree to accept the following exclusive forms of payment for Products and related costs/fees:
i. Cash: United States Currency
ii. Credit/Debit Cards: Credit/debit cards are only accepted for the payment of a given invoice (for
Product’s purchase price, buyer’s premium, and shipping & handling) totaling a maximum of
seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500.00). Credit/debit cards are not accepted for
orders/invoices over seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500.00). The Bidder’s billing
address must match the address in the card issuer’s records – we can only ship to the
verified billing address in the card issuer’s records. Cards on file with GSA will automatically
be charged for orders under seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500.00). Subject to
the aforementioned caveats, payments via credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and Discover) will
incur a surcharge of two and one-half percent (2.5%). Said fee is subject to change without
prior notice. This fee only applies to credit transactions and does not include GSA’s cost of
processing. Payments via cash, wire transfer, Cashier’s Check, Venmo, and Zelle will not
incur this surcharge but may be subject to Bidder fees assessed by the utilized service
provider.
iii. Wire Transfer: For wiring instructions, call (972-800-6456) or email (at
info@goldstandardauctions.com) GSA.
iv. Cashier’s Checks: Cashier’s Check made payable to “Gold Standard Auctions, LLC” and
delivered to 13859 Diplomat Drive, #150, Dallas, TX 75234 within seven (7) days of the
auction or “Buy it Now” sale concluding.
v. Venmo: For current Venmo payment instructions, call (972-800-6456) or email (at
info@goldstandardauctions.com) GSA.
vi. Zelle: For current Zelle payment instructions, call (972-800-6456) or email (at
info@goldstandardauctions.com) GSA.
vii. Personal checks are not accepted.
c. BUYER’S PREMIUM. All bids are subject to a Buyer’s Premium which is in addition to the
successfully placed bid. For currency, coins, tokens, notes and precious metals, the Buyer’s
Premium shall be fifteen percent (15%) subject to a minimum of fifteen dollars ($15.00) per lot.
GSA’s Buyer’s Premium is subject change and may increase from time to time without further
notice at GSA’s sole discretion.
d. UNPAID BALANCE AND DISHONORED PAYMENTS. If any Auction or “Buy it Now” invoice
submitted by GSA to Bidder is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance will bear interest at
the highest rate permitted by law from the date of invoice until paid. Any invoice not paid when
due will bear a three percent (3%) late fee on the invoice amount. If GSA refers any invoice to an
attorney or third-party for collection, Bidder agrees to pay GSA’s reasonable attorney’s fees,
court costs, arbitration costs, expenses and other collection costs incurred by GSA.
In the event the Bidder fails to pay any amounts due, Bidder authorizes GSA to charge the Bidder’s
credit card on file with GSA in the amount required to pay the invoice in full (plus the applicable
surcharge) or sell the Product(s) securing the invoice to any underbidders in the Auction that the
Product(s) appeared, or at subsequent private or public sale, or relist the Product(s) in a future
Auction or “Buy it Now” listing by GSA. A defaulting Bidder agrees that all items may be resold by
GSA thirty (30) days after the invoice date, and agrees to pay for the reasonable costs for resale
(including, but not limited to, a 15% seller’s commission, if consigned to an Auction conducted by
GSA). The defaulting Bidder is liable to pay any difference between the total original invoice for the
Product(s) if sold at a private sale or the subsequent hammer price of the Product(s) less the 15%
seller’s commissions, if sold at GSA’s Auction.
Product title shall not pass to Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. GSA shall have a lien against the
merchandise purchased by Bidder to secure payment of any and all outstanding invoices. GSA is
further granted a lien and the right to retain possession of any other property of Bidder then held by
GSA to secure payment of any invoice or any other amounts due to GSA from Bidder. With respect to
these lien rights, GSA shall have all the rights of a secured creditor under Article 9 of the Texas
Uniform Commercial Code, including, but not limited to, the right of sale (including a 15% seller’s
commission, if consigned to an Auction conducted by GSA). If the Bidder receives any Product,
Bidder agrees to hold such item in trust until GSA is paid in full. Any GSA auction is deemed a
reasonably commercial sale. In addition, with respect to payment of invoices, Bidder waives any and
all rights to an offset that Bidder might otherwise have against GSA and the consignor of the
Product(s) included in the invoice. If Bidder owes GSA on any account, GSA shall have the right to
offset such unpaid account by any credit balance due Bidder, and it may secure by possessory lien
any unpaid amount by any of the Bidder’s property in its possession.
In the event the Bidder’s payment is dishonored upon presentment, Bidder shall pay the maximum
statutory processing fee set by applicable Texas state law, interest at the maximum rate allowed by
law, and reasonable attorneys’ fees.
e. TAXES, DUTIES, AND CUSTOMS. Purchased Products may be subject to taxes, duties, customs
and/or fees imposed by various domestic and/or foreign taxing authorities or governments.
Bidder is solely responsible for payment of any and all such taxes, duties, customs and/or fees
prior to delivery unless alternative arrangements are made in writing and pre-approved by GSA.
Notice of compliance with Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna
and Flora (CITES) for the purchase of Product(s) made from protected species or wildlife. Any
Product(s) made of or incorporating endangered or protected species or wildlife may have import
and/or export restrictions established by CITES in various countries and domestically. Plant and
animal properties included, but are not limited to, items made of (or including) Brazilian rosewood,
ivory, whalebone, turtle shell, coral, crocodile, alligator, lizard, or other wildlife. These items may not
be available to ship internationally or, in some cases, domestically. Domestic bans and restrictions
exist in these states: (1) California state law prohibits the importation of any product containing python
skin into the State of California, and (2) Fossil Ivory is currently banned or restricted in 5 U.S. States:
New York, New Jersey, California, Hawaii, and New Mexico. By placing an Auction bid or selecting a
“Buy it Now” option, the Bidder acknowledges that Bidder is aware of any and all restrictions in the
Bidder’s country or place of residence and takes responsibility for: (1) obtaining all information on
such restricted items for both export and import; (2) obtaining all such licenses and/or permits. Delay,
failure, or inability to obtain any such license or permit does not relieve the Buyer of timely payment or
afford Bidder the capacity to void the purchase or payment. Lots and Products containing potentially
regulated wildlife material may be noted in the description as a convenience to GSA’s Bidders/Sellers.
GSA does not accept liability for errors or failure to mark lots or Products containing protected,
endangered, or otherwise regulated species. GSA is not liable for any loss caused by or resulting
from: (1) seizure or destruction under quarantine or Customs regulation or confiscation by order of
any government or public authority, or risks of contraband or illegal transportation of trade, or (2)
breaking of statuary, marble, glassware bric-a-brac, porcelains, jewelry, and similar fragile articles.
10. PRODUCT SHIPPING & HANDLING / IN-PERSON PICK UP. By submitting a bid or selecting a “Buy
it Now” purchase, the Seller and Bidder agree to GSA's shipping and handling policy and other
charges, whether known or unknown to bidder at the time of bid. Shipping of Product(s) is not
commenced until the invoice is fully paid and settled/cleared (including premium, shipping, insurance
if elected, taxes/fees, etc.). GSA does not personally transport or deliver Product(s) unless in-person
pick-up at a secure location (not GSA’s office) is pre-arranged by Bidder via a confirmed appointment
with GSA for a specific date, time and location. The Product(s) must have been prepaid and
confirmation receipt of payment must be brought by Bidder to the appointment. If a Bidder shows up
at Seller’s business location without having made an appointment, the Bidder will be refused entry
and turned away. Unless otherwise noted, GSA shall coordinate shipping of Product(s) to a
successful Bidder through reputable third-party shipping service providers such as the United States
Postal Service (USPS), United Parcel Service of America, Inc. (UPS), FedEx Corporate Services, Inc.
(FedEx), Deutsche Post AG (DHL), or the like. Product(s) will only be shipped to the Bidder’s verified
billing address. Shipping to an address other than Bidder’s billing address is allowed only if Bidder
has paid for the Product(s) using cash or cash equivalent (wire/cashier’s check/Zelle or Venmo). If
Bidder wants shipping insurance on a Product(s) with a winning bid amount of less than $2,500.00,
Bidder must pay for the insurance, as GSA does not normally insure such packages. Bidder must
notify GSA in writing of the request for insurance and must prepay the insurance. GSA does not
guarantee delivery of purchased Products by a specified date, or at all, due to reliance upon
third-party shipping companies. While GSA implements commercially reasonable efforts to initiate
shipping with third-party shippers within seventy-two (72) business hours of full and final payment,
Bidder agrees that once a package leaves GSA’s facility and is in the possession of the shipping
service, GSA is not responsible for any shipping delay, loss, theft or damage, and any such events do
not give rise to grounds for a partial or complete refund or a credit card chargeback. GSA does,
however, have the option at its sole discretion, to offer a site credit. Bidder understands,
acknowledges and agrees that once GSA turns over a purchased Product(s) to a third-party shipper,
Bidder’s sole recourse for any alleged lost or delayed Product(s) shall be directly through/against the
third-party shipper and its applicable insurance policy. Shipping & Handling fees shall be included in
the successful Bidder’s Product invoice. Shipping & Handling fees are subject to change. All
deliveries are subject to GSA’s prior receipt and clearance of good funds.
11. NO GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES. ALL PRODUCTS ARE SOLD “AS IS, WHERE IS” AND
BUYER AGREES NOT TO RELY ON ANY GRADE OR CONDITION CONTAINED IN OUR
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION. NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE IS MADE OR IMPLIED ON ANY PRODUCT/LOT. NO WARRANTY,
WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCT/LOT
EXCEPT FOR WARRANTY OF TITLE, AND IN THE CASE OF TITLE, GSA IS SELLING ONLY
THAT RIGHT OR TITLE TO THE PRODUCT/LOT THAT THE SELLER OR CONSIGNOR MAY
HAVE AS OF THE AUCTION OR “BUY IT NOW” SALE DATE. IF A PRODUCT/LOT IS BEING
AUCTIONED OR SOLD THROUGH A “BUY IT NOW” SALE ON A CONSIGNMENT BASIS OR AS
AN AUCTION ITEM, GSA DISCLAIMS AND MAKES NO WARRANTY OF TITLE AS SUCH
PRODUCTS PURCHASED PASS DIRECTLY FROM THE SELLER/CONSIGNER TO SUCCESSFUL
BIDDER. ALL PRODUCTS/LOTS ARE SOLD “AS IS, WHERE IS”, AND WITH ALL FAULTS. NO
WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY
DESCRIPTION, GRADE, OR PURPORTED VALUE CONTAINED IN ANY AUCTION OR “BUY IT
NOW” LISTING. REFERENCED GUIDE PRICES ARE BASED ON PCGS-GRADED COINS –
COINS THAT DO NOT MEET THAT STANDARD MAY BE WORTH SIGNIFICANTLY LESS.
BIDDER AND SELLERS AGREE THAT GSA IS NOT PROVIDING ANY WARRANTY, COVENANT
OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS SOLD OR AUCTIONED THROUGH
THE GSA SITE. BIDDER HEREBY ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING AND RELATED TO THE
GRADING, QUALITY, DESCRIPTION, CONDITION, AND PROVENANCE OF A PRODUCT/LOT.
COINS AND CURRENCY LISTED IN GSA’S CATALOG AS GRADED AND ENCAPSULATED BY
PCGS, NGC, ANACS, ICG, PCGS CURRENCY, PMG, PCGS BANKNOTE GRADING, CMC OR
ANY OTHER THIRD-PARTY GRADING SERVICE ARE LIKEWISE SOLD “AS-IS” EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN. ALL THIRD-PARTY GRADING SERVICE GUARANTEES,
INCLUDING AUTHENTICITY, ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE THIRD-PARTY
GRADING SERVICE AND NOT WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES OF GSA. BIDDER SHOULD
CONTACT THESE THIRD-PARTY GRADING SERVICES DIRECTLY WITH RESPECT TO ANY
CLAIMS OR QUESTIONS BIDDER MAY HAVE CONCERNING GUARANTEES AND WARRANTIES
OF A PARTICULAR GRADING SERVICE. BIDDER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT
AUCTIONEER IS NOT BOUND BY OR LIABLE FOR ANY OPINION OR CERTIFICATION BY ANY
THIRD-PARTY GRADING SERVICE. REMOVAL OF A PRODUCT FROM ITS PROTECTIVE
CASING OR HOLDER OR ALTERATION OF ANY COIN HOLDER WAIVES ALL RIGHTS
CONCERNING THE PRODUCT CONTAINED THEREIN.
GSA DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR COVENANT THE ACCURACY OF THE PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION OR THAT THE IMAGES USED TO ILLUSTRATE PRODUCTS ARE CORRECT OR
DO NOT VIOLATE TRADEMARKS OR COPYRIGHTS. GSA HAS NOT UNDERTAKEN ANY
REVIEW OR DUE DILIGENCE WITH RESPECT TO THE INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE
GSA SITE AND PROVIDES NO GUARANTEES, COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO SAID INFORMATION OR ITS ACCURACY. YOU AGREE YOU
DO NOT RELY ON ANY WRITTEN DESCRIPTIONS, BUT WILL ONLY BID BASED ON
EXAMINATION OF THE PRODUCT/LOT PHOTOGRAPHS POSTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE
AUTION OR “BUY IT NOW” LISTING. You hereby acknowledge that the GSA Sites, the data entered
into the Sites, and/or the Seller's auction or “Buy it Now” information may contain errors or
inaccuracies.
You understand, acknowledge and agree that the numismatic and precious metals markets are
speculative, unregulated and volatile, and that coin, currency and precious metal values may rise or
fall over time. GSA DOES NOT GUARANTEE OR REPRESENT THAT ANY BIDDER BUYER
PRODUCTS FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES WILL BE ABLE TO SELL SAID PRODUCTS FOR A
PROFIT IN THE FUTURE. REFERENCED GUIDE PRICES ARE BASED ON PCGS-GRADED
COINS – COINS THAT DO NOT MEET THAT STANDARD MAY BE WORTH SIGNIFICANTLY
LESS.
You further understand, acknowledge and agree that neither GSA, nor its owners, members,
employees, affiliates, agents, representatives, third-party providers, or consignors warrant that
Auctions or “Buy it Now” listings will be unimpaired, uninterrupted or error-free and accordingly shall
not be liable for such events.
12. WAIVER OF CONSUMER RIGHTS. BUYER WAIVES ALL RIGHTS UNDER THE DECEPTIVE
TRADE PRACTICES-CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, SECTION 17.41 ET SEQ., BUSINESS &
COMMERCE CODE, A LAW THAT GIVES CONSUMERS SPECIAL RIGHTS AND PROTECTIONS.
AFTER CONSULTATION WITH AN ATTORNEY OF MY OWN SELECTION, I VOLUNTARILY
CONSENT TO THIS WAIVER.
13. CREDIT CARD CHARGEBACKS PROHIBITED. The “Limited Returns” provision set forth herein
below provides the limited availability and procedure for facilitating Product returns in specified
situations. Absent the express eligibility and strict adherence to the procedures for facilitating a return
(which must be preauthorized by GSA in writing), or unless there is a specific statutory right, a Bidder
shall not be entitled to return Product(s) to receive partial or full refunds, to recall a wire transfer, to
place stop payment orders on checks or credit/debit cards, or to initiate a chargeback claim with a
Bidder’s credit/debit card provider. BIDDER UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES
THAT THERE EXISTS NO LEGAL BASIS FOR INITIATING A CHARGEBACK CLAIM FOR ANY
PURCHASED PRODUCT, AND BIDDER SPECIFICALLY AGREES TO REFRAIN FROM THE
FILING OF ANY SUCH CLAIM, EXCEPT IN THE EVENT THAT THERE IS A SPECIFIC
STATUTORY RIGHT, AND IN THAT CASE NO CHARGEBACK IS ALLOWED UNLESS THE
PRODUCT(S) HAS BEEN RETURNED. In the event a Bidder does not receive a purchased
Product(s) within thirty (30) days of payment, or the Bidder takes issue with a Product’s grading or
condition, Bidder’s only recourse shall be against the third-party shipping company or its insurance
and/or the appropriate grading service.
14. LIMITED RETURNS. The following terms shall govern the limited return policy available to some
Bidders for certain Product(s) under limited circumstances and only upon written pre-approval from a
GSA authorized representative.
a. No certified Product(s) may be returned because of possible difference of opinion with respect to
the grade offered by any third-party organization, dealer or service. No guarantee of grade is
offered for uncertified Product(s) sold and subsequently submitted to a third-party grading
service. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. Bidder will solely rely upon the posted
photographs of the Product/Lot, and agrees Bidder will not rely upon the written description.
b. Under extremely limited circumstances (e.g. gross cataloging error), a successful Bidder may
request GSA to evaluate voiding a sale, if and only if: (i) such request is made in writing detailing
the alleged gross error and submitted to GSA (at info@goldstandardauctions.com) within three
(3) days of receipt of the Product(s); (ii) submission of the Product(s) to GSA are pre-approved
by an authorized GSA representative and are received by GSA; and (iii) the successful Bidder
notifies GSA (13859 Diplomat Drive, #150, Dallas, TX 75234) in writing of such request within
three (3) days of the Bidder’s receipt of the Product(s). Any Product that is to be evaluated must
be in GSA’s office (13859 Diplomat Drive, #150, Dallas, TX 75234) within thirty (30) days after
the conclusion of the Product(s) auction. Grading or method of manufacture do not qualify for
this evaluation process nor do such complaints constitute a basis to challenge the authenticity of
Product(s). AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE AFOREMENTIONED THIRTY (30) DAY PERIOD,
NO PRODUCT(S) MAY BE RETURNED FOR REASONS OTHER THAN AUTHENTICITY. IT IS
WITHIN GSA’S SOLE DISCRETION TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE ALLEGED ERROR
QUALIFIES FOR A PARTIAL, COMPLETE, OR NO REFUND (SUBJECT TO A 25%
RESTOCKING FEE SET FORTH HEREIN). Returned Products must be housed intact in their
unaltered original holders or packaging. Late remittance of payment for purchases may be
considered just cause to revoke all return privileges.
c. THREE (3) DAY RETURN POLICY. Certified Coin and Uncertified and Certified Currency lots paid
for within seven (7) days of the auction or “Buy it Now” sale may be sold with three (3) day return
privileges (only upon written pre-approval by GSA) unless otherwise noted in the description as
“Sold As Is / No Return”. You may return Product(s) under the following limited conditions with
written pre-approval from GSA: (i) within three (3) days of receipt of the Product(s), you must first
notify GSA by email (at info@goldstandardauctions.com) and telephone (972-800-6456), obtain
written pre-approval via email, and immediately ship the return Product(s) in their original
condition, fully insured, and housed in their original holder or packaging, to the attention of
“GOLD STANDARD AUCTIONS, LLC – RETURNS, 13859 Diplomat Drive, #150, Dallas, TX
75234.” Said return Product(s) must be in GSA’s possession, custody and control within thirty
(30) days after the conclusion of the Product(s) auction or such return privileges are revoked
without further notice, and the late Product will be shipped back to the Bidder at Bidder’s sole
expense. A non-negotiable restocking fee of twenty-five percent (25%) of the purchase price
($15.00 per Product/lot minimum) will be deducted from the refund for each returned Product (or
billed directly to the Bidder). Postage and handling, customs, and other fees are not refunded.
After the three-day period (from Bidder’s receipt), no Product(s) may be returned for any reason.
Late remittance for purchases revokes all return privileges.
d. Bidders who have inspected the Product(s) in-person prior to an auction or “Buy it Now” purchase,
or bid through an agent, will not be granted any return privileges, except for reasons of
authenticity.
e. Coins sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold “AS IS, WHERE IS” without any
express or implied warranty, except for a guarantee by GSA that they are genuine. Removal or
alteration of the holder, voids all of Bidder’s claims concerning that Product. Certain warranties
may be available from the grading services and Bidders are referred to them for further details:
Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), PO Box 4776, Sarasota, FL 34230,
www.ngccoin.com/services/writtenguarantee.asp; Professional Coin Grading Services (PCGS),
PO Box 9458, Newport Beach, CA 92658, www.pcgs.com/guarantee.html; ANACS, 6555 S.
Kenton St., Ste. 303, Englewood, CO 80111; and Independent Coin Grading Co. (ICG), 7901
East Bellview, Ave., Suite 50, Englewood, CO 80111.
f. Notes sold referencing a third-party grading service are sold “AS IS, WHERE IS” without any
express or implied warranty, except for guarantee by GSA that they are genuine. Grading,
condition or other attributes of any Product may have a material effect on its value and the
opinion of others, including third-party grading services such as PCGS Currency and PMG may
differ with that of GSA. GSA shall not be bound by any prior or subsequent opinion,
determination, or certification by any grading service. Bidders specifically waive any claim to
right of return of any Product because of the opinion, determination, or certification, or lack
thereof, by any grading service. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services
and Bidder is referred to them for further details: Paper Money Guaranty (PMG), PO Box 4711,
Sarasota, FL 34230; PCGS Currency, PO Box 10470, Peoria, IL 61612-0470; PCGS Gold
Shield, PO Box 9458, Newport Beach, CA 92658. Third-party graded notes are not returnable for
any reason whatsoever.
g. Notes graded by PCGS Currency between February 4, 2009, and January 30, 2019, were graded
and authenticated by K3B, Inc. under license from Collectors Universe, Inc. K3B, Inc., now
operating as Legacy Currency Grading, has expressed in writing that notes graded under the
license during this time period will still be covered by the full written guaranty of PCGS Currency.
Warranties may be available from Collectors Universe, Inc. for PCGS Currency notes graded
prior to February 4, 2009.
h. Since GSA cannot examine encapsulated coins or notes, they are sold “AS IS, WHERE IS” without
GSA’s grading opinion, and may not be returned for any reason. GSA shall not be liable for any
patent or latent defect or controversy pertaining to or arising from any encapsulated Product. In
any such instance, Bidder’s remedy, if any, shall be solely against the service certifying the
Product.
i. Due to changing grading standards over time, differing interpretations, and to possible mishandling
of Products by prior owners, GSA reserves the right to express an opinion as to an item’s grade
differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the Product, but
shall have no obligation to do so. GSA also reserves the right to express an opinion as to a
product’s grade differently than the grades shown in a prior catalog should such items be
reconsigned to any future auction or “Buy it Now” sale, but shall have no obligation to do so.
j. Although consensus grading is employed by most grading services, it should be noted as aforesaid
that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely possible that if a Product is broken out of
a plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading service or even to the same service, the
Product could come back with a different grade assigned.
k. Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal risks associated with potentially
volatile markets. The degree of liquidity for certified coins and collectibles will vary according to
general market conditions and the particular lot involved. For some Products there may be no
active market at all at certain points in time.
l. All non-certified coins and currency are guaranteed genuine, but are not guaranteed as to grade,
since grading is a matter of opinion, an art and not a science, and therefore the description
rendered by GSA or any third-party grading service may not agree with the opinion of others
(including trained experts), and the same expert may not grade the same item with the same
grade at two different times. GSA may, but is not obligated to, express an opinion as to
non-certified numismatic items, in GSA’s opinion, or by its employees’ experience and the
current interpretation of the American Numismatic Association’s standards as of the date the
catalog was prepared. There is no guarantee or warranty expressed or implied that the grading
opinions utilized by GSA, if any, will meet the standards of any grading service at any time in the
future. Opinion often differ as to whether a coin or currency has been cleaned or altered. Buyer
agrees to make the determination of a Product’s condition by reviewing the item in person or
reviewing the photographs of the Product.
m. Storage of purchased coins, tokens and currency: Bidder understands and acknowledges that
certain types of plastic may react with a coin, token or currency’s surface or transfer plasticizer to
notes and may cause damage. You understand, acknowledge and agree that you shall exercise
caution to avoid the use of storage materials that are not inert.
15. RESTOCKING FEE. All Products which qualify for return and are returned in strict conformity with the
notice and physical return requirements set forth herein, shall be subject to a mandatory restocking
fee equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Product’s Auction or “Buy it Now” purchase price.
16. WAIVER, RELEASE AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. IN CONSIDERATION OF PARTICIPATION
IN GSA AUCTIONS OR “BUY IT NOW” LISTINGS, YOU, FOR YOURSELF, YOUR HEIRS,
AGENTS, SUCCESSORS, AND ASSIGNS, GENERALLY AND SPECIFICALLY WAIVE AND

17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION, ARBITRATION AND REMEDIES. In consideration of the privilege to
participate in GSA Auctions and sell or purchase Products through an Auction or “Buy it Now” listing,
you accept the terms set forth in this Agreement and specifically agree to the dispute resolution
provisions provided herein.
a. Exclusive Dispute Resolution Process: Any and all of a Bidder’s Claims, disputes, or controversies
arising out of, in connection with, and/or relating to: (i) your use of the Sites, (ii) participation in
an Auction or “Buy it Now” listing, (iii) purchase or sale of a Product, (iv) any interpretation of the
Terms or any amendments thereto, (v) any description of any Product/lot or condition report, (vi)
any damage to any Product, (vii) any alleged verbal modification of any Term or condition report
or description, and/or (viii) any purported settlement whether asserted in contract, tort, under
federal or state statute or regulation, or any claim made by you concerning a Product or your
participation in an Auction or “Buy it Now” sale involving a warranty or representation of a
consignor, other person, or entity, including GSA (collectively a “Claim”) shall be exclusively
heard by, and the Bidder and GSA each consent to the Claim being adjudicated through
confidential, binding, in-person arbitration before a single arbitrator, conducted pursuant to the
Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, as the Bidder’s sole remedy. The Bidder and GSA can agree to
an arbitrator, or if no agreement is reached, each party can nominate an arbitrator, and the two
nominees can choose an arbitrator for the matter. The locale for all such arbitrations shall be
in-person in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas. The arbitrator’s award may be enforced in any court
of competent jurisdiction within Dallas, Dallas County, Texas. In the event a Claim must be
litigated after an arbitration demand is made (including actions to compel arbitration, construe
this Agreement, actions in aid of arbitration, or otherwise), such litigation shall be exclusively in
the courts of the State of Texas, in Dallas County, Texas, and if necessary, the corresponding
appellate courts. YOU EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY. YOU AGREE
THAT GSA HAS THE OPTION OF PURSUING LITIGATION IN THE COURTS OF DALLAS
COUNTY, TEXAS, BUT THAT IN-PERSON ARBITRATION IS BIDDER’S SOLE REMEDY FOR
ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST OR INVOLVING GSA.
b. Fees, Costs and Interest: Each party shall pay one-half of any anticipated arbitration fees to initiate
the process. The prevailing party (a party that is awarded substantial and material relief on its
liability and damage claim based on damages sought versus awarded or the successful defense
of a Claim based on damages sought versus awarded) may be awarded reasonable attorney’s
fees, costs and applicable pre- and post-award interest by an arbitrator and/or subsequent court
of competent jurisdiction.
c. Remedies: Any Claim must be brought within two (2) years of the alleged breach, default, or
misrepresentation or the Claim is waived. GSA’s maximum liability shall be limited to any
commission and fees GSA earned on that Product. GSA in no event shall be responsible for
consequential, incidental, compensatory, or any other damages (set forth herein including those
claimed under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act) arising or claimed to be arising from the
Auction or “Buy it Now” sale. Exemplary and punitive damages are not recoverable and are
waived. In the event GSA cannot deliver a Product or it is subsequently established that the
Product lacks title, or other transfer or condition issue is claimed, in such cases the sole remedy
shall be limited at most to rescission of the sale and refund of the amount paid by Bidder; in no
case shall GSA’s maximum cumulative liability exceed the high bid on the Product, which bid
shall be deemed for all purposes the value of the Product. In the event of an attribution error,
GSA may, at its sole discretion, correct the error on the internet/Site, or, if discovered at a later
date, refund Bidder’s purchase price without further obligation. Nothing herein shall be construed
to extend the time of return or conditions and restrictions for return.
d. Liability Limit: These Terms provide specific remedies for occurrences in the Auction or “Buy it
Now” listing and delivery process. Where such remedies are afforded, they shall be interpreted
strictly. You agree that any Claim shall utilize such remedies. In the event you make a Claim in
excess of those remedies provided in these Terms, you agree that in no case whatsoever shall
GSA’s maximum liability exceed the high bid on the Product, which bid shall be deemed for all
purposes the value of the Product.
e. Breach of Arbitration Remedy: Failure of the Bidder to participate in the arbitration is a default and
material breach of this Agreement. Any Bidder that files suit, instead of initiating an arbitration,
shall be liable to GSA for payment of GSA’s attorneys’ fees to convert the action to an
arbitration.
f. Collection Remedy: GSA reserves the right to initiate a lawsuit, instead of arbitration, for any unpaid
amounts due from Bidder to GSA, and the parties agree. GSA is entitled to the additional
recovery of its costs, expenses, attorney’s fees, and interest at the highest rate allowed by law in
such matter if you breach any provision of these Terms and Conditions.
18. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE. This Agreement, the Bidder Terms & Conditions, the Seller Terms &
Conditions, and any Claim shall be determined and construed in accordance with Texas state law.
Any and all Claims submitted to arbitration and subsequent litigation shall be exclusively heard by a
single arbitrator (or subsequently by a court of competent jurisdiction) in Dallas, Dallas County,
Texas, where all obligations under this Agreement are performable.
19. NOTICES. Except as explicitly stated otherwise, notices to you shall be given by email to the email
address provide by you to GSA during the Seller/Bidder registration process. Notices to GSA shall be
given by email to info@goldstandardauctions.com or by certified mail, return receipt requested (or
